9 Months!!

Paige, you are 9 months old!


This has been such a fun month and full of adventures!

We went to the doctor today and she said you look great!  You weigh 19 lbs, 5 oz and are 27 3/4 inches long. This puts you in the 60th percentile for weight and heighth.

You are wearing 6 - 9 month clothes but that is not going to last too much longer.  The dress I took your picture in may look better with some leggings - ha!  Socks and shoes have been added to your wardrobe.  We were the bad parents before who didn't have you wear them.  Now that it is colder socks and shoes are a must.

You still love to eat and you love feeding yourself.  Cheerios and puffs are a favorite because you can feed yourself.  Here recently you have tried things like real carrots, real pears, waffles, and even a turkey sandwich.  You take 3 bottles a day and we are working on the sippy cup.  You are starting to like it with water.  You have not warmed up to juice yet - we have tried but you don't seem to like it.  The big excitement for the month was you got your first 2 teeth.  The bottom 2 front teeth came in at the exact same time!


You have not met a stranger! Everywhere you go you greet everyone with a big smile and start talking. You love kids the most. When a child walks by you reach out like you want to hug them and you start talking. It is so sweet to see you interact with the kids at school. Funny story – we were at Wings last weekend for the Auburn game. Everyone in the restaurant would cheer when Auburn scored. In the past, Paige would look at us when we were doing crazy things like cheering. Not this time around. There was a little boy sitting behind and Paige was more interested in seeing if he was cheering. I guess we, Momma and Daddy, have already lost our coolness.



You have started pulling up and love standing. We now find you in the mornings standing in your crib. Gone are the days of putting the paci back in to catch a little more sleep. You have also figured out how to sit on your own; the army crawl is now your main mode of transportation.




 The one not so fun part of this month was that you got your first stomach bug.  You were out of school for 3 1/2 days.  Not fun!!! 


Happy 9 Month Birthday sweet baby girl!
